Effie Campbell and Other Poems #244349

Effie Campbell.<br><br>Pretty Effie Campbell<br>Came to me one day;<br>Eyes as bright as sunbeams,<br>Cheeks with blushes gay.<br><br>"I'm so happy, Cousin,<br>Walter told me all,<br>In the carriage, coming<br>From the county ball."<br><br>"Have a care. Miss Effie -<br>Look before you leap;<br>Men are fickle, Effie, -<br>Better wait than weep."<br><br>"Peace! thou croaking prophet<br>Love might be a crime,<br>And a kiss perdition,<br>Surly Peter Syme."
